Is Equal Health Care A Civil Right?

March 14, 2014|Letter to the editor

Years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that racially segregated public schools were not equal. Integration followed. Failure to integrate was a violation of people's civil rights. Civil rights were forced on the South.

Today, are rights to health care from government being denied by state governments that refuse to expand Medicaid? Sen. Chris Murphy was in the recent march in Selma, Ala. He is a new generation "freedom rider." Connecticut should be proud.
